WPL will change Indian cricket: Australia Women's cricketer Grace Harris

There is a lot of buzz surrounding the inaugural Women's Premier League, scheduled to take place in March 2023.

Several cricketers from across the globe have started to register for the WPL auction, which will apparently take place next month. 

The craze of the newest T20 franchise league has reached the shores of Australia, and the Australian superstars are already geared up for the event. 

All-rounder, Grace Harris reckons that WPL will lift Indian cricket to the level of Australia, and it provides a great opportunity for the young players to shine.

"The better domestic comp that you can get, the stronger the internationals you'll have," Harris told AAP. 

"(The WPL) will change Indian cricket. They'll be a much bigger powerhouse than what they already are. The women's India team, they'll be pushing our boundaries and driving international standards of women's cricket as well as Australia."

Before the emergence of WPL, only England had a domestic women's competition that could rival the Australian setup. 

However, despite all the glitz and glamour surrounding the WPL, Aussie spinner Alana King believes that no amount of money can lure the players to choose franchise cricket over national duty.

"We love representing our country. We wouldn't trade that for anything in the world," she said.
